I hate AI

Something is creeping into the Internet and it really irritates me. I guess hate is too much but it’s annoying.

I just saw a short video where a white meringue turns into tiny polar bears and peaches start wriggling about, then a large lobster changes into something alien and a white and yellow parrot sits happily in a frying pan where an egg is being fried.

The images all look perfectly realistic, and if you didn’t know you could imagine they were real, but I see a grotesque version of reality, like Heironymous Bosch has returned from the past and has created his AI vision of the Garden of Earthly delights.

AI can be very disturbing and it’s getting everywhere. It’s like looking at someones hallucination. A strange trip into a distorted mind. I want it to stop. Human imagination can be simple or warped, but AI? It’s just too fake for me, for some reason I can recognise it and I don’t like being tricked.

Hangover!

I was looking through Facebook and saw this image about hangovers and sleeping after drinking heavily. I decided to post anyway because I like the image.

But when I checked the word hangover on Snopes.com it said it does NOT come from people sleeping over ropes in Victorian times. It’s a false claim which is a shame because it sounds right. Even this image of people hanging over the ropes seems to reinforce the idea.

Look up hangover on Wikipedia and it generates all sorts of infotainment, especially if you look for ‘hangover meaning’. Including comedy films and hangover cures. Luckily I’m not suffering from one. (A build up of toxins following the consumption of excess alcohol or other poisons).

Your anti virus has run out…

Another scam. If you send me an email with a link about a package, or my anti virus content don’t expect me to open it! I know which anti virus I use, so if you use a different company name I’m not randomly going to think ‘oh I might have a surprise package’ or ‘that looks like an interesting link’. If I do get called I won’t be going out and buying gift cards. I also have no interest in ordering things online, so the package I missed isn’t mine…if someone says they have accidentally put £500 in my account I will say thank you so much and hang up (it’s a scam, it’s not real).

Seriously, be careful, don’t let the scammers mess you about. If it sounds too good to be true it is.
